    Grrrrr bloody internet!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: I've been on the Phone to Virgin Media and they said it should be fixed now but I'm not holding my breath!! It's so frustrating because I can't check how much I've earned when the Internet is not Working!!

    I've been Working...it's been VERY VERY Slow this Afternoon but I'll get there....and hoping that my Regular might pop on for an hour or two tonight....

    Was late taking a break because I was hanging on for more Calls so I'm taking a Break now until 10pm...then Logging on for the Night Shift....

    Feels like this Week is going to be a looooooooong one....But I'll get there....I want to get just over the £500 mark...and I'm a long way off at the moment....but I have faith in myself...so fingers crossed!!

    I've been Working out an Hourly Rate Mara which is around £5.50 per hour....so I try and get that and then anything else ia bonus....but of course I can't control who Calls me...so it's a bit difficult sometimes....but I'll get there...

    See you all at 10pm xXx

    Only up to £50....It's REALLY slow at the moment....but hopefully tonight will be better!! IF I can get up to £100 tonight that would be great....And will send me well on my way....

    Glad to hear you had a good day hun....Another 20 minutes to go and I'm logging back on....Didn't have time to Cook anything but I managed a Bowl of Cereal...that'll be enough for me to be going on with until the morning....

    No, technically I can log on at any time but I find it's easier to log on at the hour or the half hour...makes it easier to figure out how many hours I have done across the Week...

    I'm logging back on at 10pm exactly...Hopefully tonight will be busy!!

    I know my Regular said he wouldn't Call me again for a little while but I'm hoping he will pop on for an hour tonight...would be nice....But I guess we'll see on that front...

    Good morning . How was your night ? Hope the wee small hours didnt drag too much.
    Another show day here, little later start ..8.30 .. No ferries today !
    I think it would be a really good idea for you to go back and read over your diary for the two weeks that you did so well ..... I think youve lost some of that drive. To only be at £100 at this stage in the week is not good, especially when you are hoping to pay back a couple of extra small debts this week.
    Time to up your game again Helen, no more saying you will work 11 -7 or 10 - 8 , then vanishing off to bed early. You NEED those hours.
    So good luck for today, another £100 needed by this time tomorrow ... X

    Morning Hun, You're right...I DID go to bed early in the wee small hours this morning....And you're right, I DO seem to have lost some of my Drive that I had a couple of Weeks ago....

    I shall go back and read my Diary and I'm going to look at my Hours and STICK TO THEM for this Week....

    Tomorrow I am out at Placement for the Afternoon and Early Evening....but apart from that I have NO PLANS for the rest of the Week so I can devote my time to Work...

    Thank You for the kick up the bum hun...I really appreciate it!!

    I promise to do better!!

    Just going to grab a quick bite to eat and then be on for the rest of the morning and afternoon until 7pm tonight....xXx

    Helen, agree with everything Mara says as usual. You do keep disappearing! Despite saying over and over "I am definitely going to stay on the phones until X time"!

    The thing is Helen, we can chivvy you on all we like, but it is your life and you who need to work to sort your future out, and only you can do it. You are not letting anyone down but yourself by not working. You need to see this. You do seem to have a pattern of sabotaging your efforts and I honestly don't understand why this is. You are obviously very intelligent and have great social skills!

    Perhaps homeworking is not for you, but at this moment in time it is how you earn your money to pay your bills and debts and you need to do it.

    You need to turn things around, and like Mara says, look back and your diary and see how motivated your were a couple of weeks ago.

    Talk over. Good luck for today.
    :money:

    Thank You Pesto....You're right.....And thank you for the kick up the bottom....I need it this Week....but this Week CAN be turned around and I intend to do that!!

    So today I'm Working from 10am until 7pm and then 8pm until 8am....That's my Promise for today....

    I WILL turn this Week around....

    So I decided to Log On a bit early....get those few extra Calls in....So I'm all logged on now until 7pm tonight....

    I've gone back and read the parts of my Diary where I was earning decent money....and it has really spurred me on to change this Week around....

    I CAN still do it this Week....Just need to really apply myself and GO FOR IT!!

    So...feeling much more positive now....
